# Protocols Comparator
The **Protocols Comparator** tab compares the number of transfers or the size (in bytes) of the transfers that occurred in each protocol. Each protocol has a color assigned and a legend is available on the right of the graph.
For detailed instructions on how to create this card, refer to [Create a Card](/panorama-2.0.1/cards/create-a-card.md).
By default, no protocol is selected and the graph is empty. To have data shown, click the  chip on the top right corner, next to the 3-dot button and select the protocol or protocols checking each of them in the window that appears. The graph will be updated and will show data as in the following figure.
If you move the mouse over the bar, a tooltip will appear showing data about the protocols. In the following figure, the graph shows data relevant to January and in particular the date of January 3 is selected. Moreover, all protocols available are shown so in the tooltip you can see the number of transfers or their size for each protocol for the day.
The **Protocols Comparator** card is equipped with a toolbar that allows you to:
* switch from the default linear graph - shown at the top of this page - to a pie chart or to a bar graph, as shown in the figures here below.
In both the **pie chart** and the **bar graph** views, you can **drill‑down** a specific slice or bar. Read the [Transfers window](#transfers-window) section below.
* switch from number of transfers (Count) to Bytes transferred.
* switch transfer mode. You can see all transfers, where Data One is client (it engages with another entity to retrieve and deliver files), or server (it receives files from partners or makes files accessible for other entities).
* chip to select the protocols you want to compare.
## Card menu options
Clicking the 3 dots button in the upper right corner of the card, the following options will appear.
### Export CSV
This option allows you to export the list of results immediately or schedule an automatic export as a **zipped .csv file**.
#### Export tab
This option performs a one‑time export:
1. Select the **time range** of the data to be exported. The time range displayed is the global dashboard time range shown at the top-right of the application: 
* Adjust the **From** and **To** dates by clicking the calendar, selecting a new date, and clicking **APPLY**.
2. Any active filters are displayed.
* To remove all filters, click **Reset**. In this case, only the selected **Period** is applied.
3. Optionally, enable **email notification** to be informed when the export is completed. To receive email notifications, the following conditions must be met:
* The [Mail Sender](/panorama-2.0.1/setup-and-configuration/plugins-configuration/mail-sender.md) plugin is configured.
* The [user's email address](/panorama-2.0.1/setup-and-configuration/users-and-roles-setup/manage-users.md) is specified in the **Email** field.
#### Schedule export tab
This option automatically exports data on a recurring basis.
1. Choose the export frequency by selecting **Daily**, **Weekly**, or **Monthly** in the **Scheduling type** field.
2. Any active filters are displayed.
* To remove all filters, click **Reset**. In this case, only the selected **Period** is applied.
3. Optionally, enable email notification to be informed when the export is completed.
* Enter a valid email address and click the **+** button to confirm.
### Export HTML
Export or schedule the export of the list of results in .html format, including the image of the graph or not. The same options as the **Export CSV** menu are applied.
### Table view
This option opens the **Transfers** window, showing a drill-down of the items in the card.
{% hint style="info" %}
Any filters applied to the card are automatically applied to the **Transfers** window.
{% endhint %}
#### Transfers window
The **Transfers** window allows you to explore the data behind a card in detail.
In both the **pie chart** and the **bar graph** views, you can click on a **slice** of the pie or on a **bar** in the graph to open the **Transfers** pop-up window that displays the detailed drill‑down of the specific slice or bar you selected.
The information shown in the popup corresponds **exactly** to the data used to generate the chart or graph. This means that:
* any **active filters** (such as date range, protocol, etc.) apply both to the chart/graph and to the popup details.
* the popup lists **only** the transfers represented by the selected slice or bar, with no additional aggregation.
Even if you switch the chart view from **Count** to **Bytes**, the **Transfers** popup always displays the detailed list of transfers based on the **number of files (count)**.
In the **Transfers** window:
* The **Export** button at the top-left allows you to export **only the list currently displayed**.
* **Transfers details** such as Filename, Source, Destination, Direction, Date, Size and many others are available.
* **Columns** can be configured by clicking the  icon on the top-right corner. Columns cannot be sorted but the list can be exported in CSV format.
* A **search edit box** can be used to filter results by filename.
* A **toolbar** allows you to easily navigate through results.
### Color
This option allows you to select a different color for the external border of the card.
Click the **Reset** button to restore default settings.
### Remove
This option allows you to remove the card. Note that the card will be removed without any further prompting.
## Export data
You can export data in several ways:
* **From the card menu**, by selecting **Export CSV** or **Table view**:
* **Export CSV** exports the full dataset for the selected time range. Any applied filters will be shown in the **Filters** section.
* **Table view** opens a drill‑down view; using **Export** from there exports only the data currently displayed, including any applied filters, shown in the **Filters** section.
* **From the Flows window**, by clicking **Export**.
* Only the currently visible dataset is exported. Any applied filters will be shown in the **Filters** section.
In all cases:
* The **time range** can be adjusted in the **Period** section.
* Applied filters are shown in the **Filters** section.
* To export the entire dataset without filters, click the  chip to remove all filters.
